Oli was great in preparing the detailed plan for the trip. He chose great places to visits and look at the best views that Iceland has to offer. We were very happy with our local guide/driver, Erla, as well. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Iceland and had many great conversations during the trip.
Many folkd including out family of four were very excited to see the Northen lights but ofcourse it is very weather dependent and we were not luck to see the lights but Iceland is amazing and offers many more things. Overall we were very happy with KimKim, Oli and Erla.
Tip -- Please check various websites/Apps to maximize of your chances to see the Northen lights and also buty insurance to the trip. When the time comes near and you find that it would be raining and Solar activities are low, you can reschdule the trip for the later time.
